As per the new guideline by the BCCI, the team management can either retain three Indian players and one overseas player or two Indian players and two overseas players.
But if a franchise retained 4 players ( maximum limit) they will not be able to use RTM.
Regarding the price money of these RTM players, the team must pay the exact bidding amount which the other team has offered for that player to use RTM.
